Met with Dr. Walker with regard to possible surgery on my trigger thumb and wrist issues. I was seen promptly, and was very impressed with both the P.A. who took my initial information and the doctor.
Dr.Walker took the time to answer my questions and gave me an honest and thorough assessment of my treatment options. My visit was as pleasant as a doctor’s appointment can be, beginning with the staff at check-in.
Dr. Pandya is amazingly informative. My appointment was to a satisfactory. In depth and accurate about her procedure. Dr. Pandya has surpassed and gone above and beyond my expectations. A much needed surgery is now; after six years, finally underway. Very satisfied.
Thank you,
Team.
The staff is very friendly so 4 stars there. I had a complete ACL tear and after being seen, I was encouraged to do a more conservative treatment plan (PT) and go home and do my own research. I was told if I changed my mind I was assured they would do my surgery. I paid the fee for them to submit my short term disability paperwork. Left the office and spent hours reading pros and cons of surgery vs PT and also talked with a few people who could speak into my decision. After a LOT of thought and consideration for my age and activity level, I decided surgery was my better option. To sum this up quickly, I was eventually told no one there would do my surgery. I was quite frustrated. This also threw a huge kink in my short term disability process. It was a total waste of time and money and I had to start all over. I tried to get at least some of my office fee money back, but never received a call back. Friendly staff, but unhelpful for me. Unbeknownst to me, they referred me to another orthopedic surgeon who called a week later, but I had already found a different doctor. While I do appreciate the conservative approach, I wish I would’ve been told upfront they would not perform surgery if I changed my mind. A portion or all of that 75 fee refunded back would be appreciated. It took me a month to get my short term disability to finally get approved and extended my time off work considerably since I had to start all over.
Dr. Sarim Ahmed was incredible with me today. He was thorough and caring and an excellent communicator. Even though my issue turned out to not be something he could help me with he guided me in the right direction and I’m grateful. I would recommend him to anyone d needing orthopedic care. Thank you!
Thank you DR. Ahmed! I came in with a bad left knee after being in pain for over two years I am seven months out of a knee revision and barely functional DR. Ahmed took me in explained everything to me and set a course plan of action. I feel very comfortable with what he explained to me and how he is going to help me. The office staff are all very polite and cheerful. Donna
My first visit here and it was amazing. I saw Andrew the PA and he was very helpful and answered all my questions. I am thankful that they will be more conservative with my treatment rather than rushing into surgery. And the staff at the front desk were extremely polite and very friendly. There is a reason why most patients have given them 5 stars. Highly recommended. Thank you!
Amazing experience.. first visit was worried of what was going to happen.. Doc assured me I didnt need surgery which made me feel so much better. Would recommend to anyone.. All staff friendly and helpful.
